Been liking their stuff. the artist ever specifically stop by these threads?

>>8871668
eh, I feel like the muzzle redesign kinda works for turians (though unnecessary since they already have a more unique design among ME races) but feels out of place for the quarians

Tentacles count as xeno, right?

and also the fact that these are literally spacebabes

>>8873125
Nta, but I'll admit these are pretty close. However the lack of noses and hair does a good enough job of tipping over into "grey alien" territory at the very least.

>>8873134
they're like twileks without noses, but fair enough I guess

>>8873118
Shame that the artist who drew them is probably dead or most likely moved on from drawing smut, sure his art was mainly of futa and lesbian water sports but his art style was good, they are cute and kind of wish someone would adopt their design, but I guess it be seen as disrespectful, like stealing someone OC and slapping on a different color and saying it totally original

>>8873134

I kind of see them between level 2 and 3, sure you can agree it leans a bit more to space babe area but they look alien enough to lean towards grey typed aliens

We know you're working on it you lazy bum, you've been saying it for years, V3 when?

What species are involved in the latest Snekguy story? Don't really feel like reading it just to check.
I've pretty much checked out of Pinwheel if it doesn't involve Valbs or Brokers, maybe give the new species a try.

>>8875412
It focuses on a Rask from a previous story, various humans, SWAR dudes, and a really whiny emotional female SWAR spy.

I need more b-movie aliens.

Apparently the poor box office for Pixar's Elio is being blamed on the "unpalatability" of space settings and aliens, especially among younger gens. Guess we're going to see even less fucking xeno content for awhile.

As popular as the Mars Needs Women/I Married A Monster From Outer Space trope seems to be, there's little of the opposite and usually semen isn't the precious bodily fluid they're after.

>>8876047
Its technically one mind so its just one 'person' cumming

>>8875992
I believe Gen Z starts with them being born in 1997 at earliest, and by the time they're 16 it's 2013. They would've been 13 when ME1 released. Not great possibilities there.
And earliest birth range for Gen Alpha is 2010, the oldest of them are 15. What a horrific era of entertainment they faced once they were old enough to fully process things.

In terms of media: I've noticed a lot of recent sci-fi media is extremely unimaginative with a couple of them being really distinct and memorable. When it comes to sci-fi with aliens? Even less so. I recently picked up a book called Beyond Kuiper, and there are some interesting ayy designs as described in the book- beyond that, I encourage you all to read and get your own opinions on it.

>>8875775
>"unpalatability" of space settings and aliens
It infuriates me to no degree that these are the lessons these black suits learn from a box office failure. When will sci-fi bros get our time to shine and watch as fantasy withers and burns?

>>8876089
Trust me, you do not want the suits to get their grubby hands on things you enjoy. I can't imagine how badly they'd fuck up a ME movie or tv series. It'd probably look like that netflix cowboy bebop series, the quarians would be some kind of covid allegory and have off-model designs, turians would be fully CGI and only show up for less than a minute of screentime, and 99% of the adapted plot would be about humans vs humans in some asinine "cereberus actually created the reapers" plotline with the moral being "capitalism bad".

Again, trust me, you do not want the things you enjoy being picked up by mainstream media.

>>8876102

>>8876105
I know this to be true. It's become so commonplace that "X studio ruins X thing that used to be great" has become a trope in of itself. I'm sorry for the loss of Star Trek, anon. I still lament the loss of Halo.

>>8876089
Everyone should get a bit of something from any genre, problem is the people involved are always the same incompetent narcissists that never take blame and just get shuffled from project to project doing the same shit regardless of genre.
It's not like Fantasy is doing much better, and I'm sure once it's clear that's been bungled to oblivion they'll blame the genre and/or GoT-style of such stories and there will be a drought of that for decades. And the people responsible will move on to...
...I dunno is there even a popular genre in film right now? It's all so fucked.

>>8876113
If you want my two-cents, I've been enjoying some sci-fi books as of late. Not much with aliens though, which is why I've taken up to writing and designing my own aliens with their own cultures and histories. I may share them in this thread someday, but until I have more of the world fleshed out and plot established, I'll hold off. It's honestly been a refresher for me to make my own sci-fi and tune out whatever a corporation churns out.

>>8876112

>>8876301
Not him, I wouldn't say that but it certainly got less fun and dumber as the time went on.
That said, I'm now entertained by the realization that what I'm writing atm is basically a space empire taking a giant piss on the concept of the Prime Directive.

>>8875949
>>8875960
It's s𝘢fe in a way that Elio is not. You may or may not believe in the culture war depending on your ideological persuasion, but parents of small children absolutely do and the vast majority of them don't want their kids consuming subversive media. Even without the fully automatic luxury space communist utopia set dressing, Elio celebrates children running away from home and that's a non-starter for the kinds of parents that'll take their kids to a movie, full stop.

Meanwhile, Lilo & Stitch is Lilo & Stitch, minus one campy1940s drag joke and plus one shitty self-indulgent girlboss ending. It's harmless fun and parents can take their kids to it without worrying they'll try to emulate antisocial behavior.

It's why Inside Out 2 made a billion dollars and Strange World and Lightyear bombed harder than a B2 in Iran.

>>8876301
>Star Trek was always shit, though

The concept of the series as expressed by the introductory speech of TOS/TNG was never really shit; the shit part was everything surrounding it on the production side. ("Alien? Paint em green!") The only actual problem with the concept is how incredibly easy it is to betray the purpose of. You're basically trying to fold the thinnest gold leaf foil into an origami sphere that involves inflating the sphere as the last step.
However, SOMEONE inevitably acts in a manner that causes the concept to rip itself apart at some point in the process, even at the last step... It's usually the money people, too. Which is fucking hilarious because "Cashless society" was one of the main gimmicks of the setting that was NEVER elaborated on.

> Financiers: "GOOD LORD WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THERE?!"

Well I mean there are the Turians so at least there is that. At least they aren't quarian or asari who are just differently colored humans with maybe some odd number of digits.
Then again I'm not Gen Z and I think part of it is we're counting the hit's and forgetting the misses.
Like yes, there was H.R. Giger's wonderfully weird aliens and whatnot, but then there was also Star Trek with all of it's budget plastic forehead human "aliens".
For as much as someone is lamenting the designs of Disney's Elio aliens, which I haven't been paying too much attention too because I have a bit too much going on right now recently to care. I can guarantee there is going to be some kid out there that is going to "love" one of the aliens enough to be welcomed into /xeno/.
Yeah the streaming and online marketplace has made things things an absolute mess for discoverability or xeno poles as it where, and that they basically nixed both Gantu and Grand Councilwoman from the movie certainly doesn't help matters. But I can guarantee there even 'crummy' media is worth more than it's weight in gold. And we've still got tangential media like streamers playing Voices of the Void - so there is that...
Like I never really cared much for the Star Trek/Star Wars stuff because of all the 'human' elements but Animorphs definitely served as a gateway with all of it's alien species.
Where is my Hork-Bajir waifu dammit!?

>>8876126
I know you're joking, but that's actually why I enjoy these threads so much. /xeno/ gives me an erection of the penis when I see weird boob, an erection of the heart when I see wholesome interspecies relations, and an erection of the mind when I see speculative worldbuilding.
You rock, /xeno/. Don't ever change.
>>8876724
>Animorphs mention
Based taste, anon. Underrated gem for the weird xeno department. Like, look at this romance novel cover. Where are the anons fantasizing about a blowjob from a taxxon?

>>8876742
What makes Animorphs even better is Applegate, if memory served,actually spitballed the idea out there to make the aliens in the series more "human" to make the series more budget friendly in case of adaptations but it never panned out - and the series was all the better because of it.
Fuck I remember seeing the first book in the Scholastic Book Fair pamphlet, thinking "this looks interesting", and 60+ books later - here I am.
What a long strange trip it's been...

>>8876301
it was earnest and hopeful and campy, which is more than I can say for anything released nowadays

>>8876742
Joking? JOKING? Some of the best pieces of world building I've seen came from this thread- I remember a genuine discussion about homebrew FTL and someone had the idea of "Cut/Paste" FTL where the the original ship and crew are wiped from reality and are pasted back into reality in another location. Better explained by the Anon who made it if I recall. Genuinely, I see some of the most honest, and intellectually conversations here than anywhere else on the internet. It's baffling. I'm not gonna complain though, /xeno/ is a nice board for getting hard and getting hard at work for sci-fi world building.

>>8876798
Will you be around next time some lore is shared? Cause not that many anons seemed interested last thread.

>>8876724
In all honesty, when it comes to media that acted as a gateway into xenophilia, is it weird that War of the Worlds was my gateway into it? You're honestly right, that no matter what, SOMETHING is gonna click in the brain and send them down a rabbit hole into liking aliens.

>>8876802
I used to be fairly active in these threads back, I honestly can't why I stopped coming by for a while. I yearn to see what y'all are cooking up and maybe spitball some ideas to see what we can make in this board.

>>8876810
>I honestly can't why I stopped coming by for a while.
Maybe it's because my brain got fried. What I meant to say was:
>I honestly can't recall why I stopped coming by for a while.

>>8876810 >>8876812
No need to worry about grammar, kek. Sometimes our interests just waxes and wanes. But it certainly seems hard to keep anyone interested in anything here for long. Wish we did more of these "roll for lore" posts with that chart. Maybe when I make some sketches and more lore entries I'll try reaching out in the thread again this week.

>>8876824
Fair- but I'm honestly surprised there are people that are still alive in these threads that remember the roll for an ayy and make lore for them. I still have the image for it!
>make some sketches and more lore entries
Is that you, L.L? Or am I mistaken- Either-way, I look forward to more lore from any aspiring world builder.

>>8876825
I'd be surprised if there's more than a handful, either. It's hard to forget anything when a year feels like last week to you (btw, thanks for the chart. Lost it on my old pc.) But yeah I'm still here, not much elsewhere to go, really. And so are the others more or less.

He posts xeno occasionally but it's spread out across multiple websites

>>8876105
Capitalism is bad though. And maybe you should shut the fuck up and read a book about vaccines

>>8876983
>Marathon mentioned
But if it's a 1v1 between individuals, it depends on the class of pfhor- since they have multiple combat types. I reckon a sangheili could take on a base fighter, trooper, and enforcer. They would have difficulty against the hunters and and juggernaut. But since pfhor units are vulnerable to energy weapons, I imagine the same principle applies like it does in halo. In which case, covenant weapons are purpose built for dealing with enemies such as this, and shall be a fine addition to the great journey.

>Capitalism is bad though
And yet, it's the least-bad form of commerce in human history
>Hostile silencing
I said they'd be an allegory, not that vaccines are bad you professional victim. Do you really think modern media is capable of being anywhere near subtle with its messaging? They constantly bash you upside the head with [Real World Issue] and have zero nuance about it, which makes for not only uninteresting writing, but political soapboxing, which literally nobody enjoys. Quarians wouldn't be an alien race, they'd be a stance.

Is there a garrus sex scene if you play as female shepard?

>>8877108
Alas, it just cuts to black with Garrus. Even in Andromeda, you don't get a full sex scene with Vetra. It just cuts to black. They'll have a scene with Asari, sure, but apparently a Turian is too much- oh well, plenty of animators who'll animate Turians getting rawdogged or rawdogging if you're a femanon.

>>8877112
>femanon
Lmao.
I was just curious if they actually animated that.

>>8877080
>Quarians wouldn't be an alien race, they'd be a stance.
I think this is a near-constant issue with millennial and Gen Z writing. An entire species- whether it's for sci-fi or a fantasy setting- has to be an allegory for [contemporary social issue] rather than something nuanced. I like it when aliens act like people with their own distinct identities and ideals, no matter how alien they are to humanity. That's what makes aliens cool, as it allows us to have outward perspective into another intelligent species rather than screaming into an echo-chamber made up of only humans and our human problems.

>>8877080
>>8877125
we're regressing to star trek TOS writing lol

>>8877125
And that's when those gens even have aliens in their shit, often regulating them to the background while actual character roles are filled with their precious diversity.
Never forget or forgive Admiral Ackbar being killed off to push old purple-haired Ellie Sattler.

>>8877128

Wouldnt any planet orbiting a white star be black and white? Really something to think about...

Hm.. you make a good point. How would life develop under an A-class star? Would color even be perceivable? How would an absolutely stunning alien from this world react if you gave them RED flowers? Would she be able to see its true color or would it be black and white? We may never know...

Socialism would disagree with you, and wo would most of human history.

Socialism lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty. Capitalism killed literally billions. And China is the most sucessful economy on Earth


Your pseudo-intellectualism and historical revisonism is astounding.

“But social-izuhm bad becase muh 200 trillion deaths!”

>8878028
>8878033
Ignore this bot.
>>8876983
Easily the Sangheili. The phfor are weak enough that normal humans with handguns can easily defeat them. Basically the grunts of Marathon.

>>8878047
Don't sangheili have a double set of pectorals? Giving them an astounding amount of upper body strength? No wonder the spartan program was a must, they could rip a full grown man in half if they wanted to. I doubt the phfor would do much better.

>>8875775
Nigga look at this image, it is repulsive in design. Aesthetics matter.

>>8878047
Okay, how about this: who would win, a Sangheili or a Yautja?

>>8878204
I'd still give this one to the elites. They're average gun is more powerful than a plasma caster, they have energy shields, and invisibility as well. The yautja would have quite the mobility advantage, not sure how they would compare strength wise. Not to mentally on, how would a predator contend with an elite energy sword? The staff and wrist blades would be useless.

>>8878204
Now that's the million dollar question for me...

Especially if there's a human mate in between <3

>>8878204
Gotta give it to the 'leets. They're both physically larger, while also having comparable or better technology. It could be close though.

The real question is this: Dommy mommy 'Leet on male Yaut, or chad 'Leet giving female Yaut backshots?

>>8878400
Male yauts are simps, option 1

horrific :(

>>8878196
That's half the point. The people responsible for this and other modern rubbish blame everything except their own incompetency or deliberate opposing of aesthetic.

>>8877277
>>8877289
They would probably perceive the light from their own sun as white, and light from ours as yellow (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature).
Fun fact: By that same logic, an alien from an Orange Dwarf star (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-type_main-sequence_star) would probably perceive the lightbulbs in your house as pure white, instead of warm white, which would completely kill the fen shui, and make your living feel more like a doctors office.

>>8880120

>>8880120
Humanity spent millions of years in the stone age. It isn't a reach that any intelligent creatures might be there just as long, if not longer. Some humans can't leave it even now, modern technology really only derives from very specific populations.

>>8880120
The idea that we're the first space-faring species in the entire universe is an idea I quite like a lot. I haven't seen that in a story yet.

While I don't disagree with your point, that timescale doesn't sound right. Didn't the modern human only come into existence like 20 or 30 thousand years ago?

Don't know, the definitions of that change constantly. Tools, fire, clothing, even instruments, have all been around for millions of years. Even if you wouldn't consider those people, or human, they are our ancestors and relatives.

>>8880231
>Tools, ----, clothing, even instruments, have all been around for millions of years.
Again, not exactly sure about that. Those kinds of things don't really last millions of years. Afaik anything older than like, 6,000 years(?), tends to turn into dust iirc

I have tried to find good scifi on Amazon since I have that Kindle shit where you get to pick like 20 books for free a month and it's honestly a fucking nightmare.

I tried to find a few good first contact stories and found fuck all. It's hard to find anything good, and I am not even sure if the problem is the writers. There is so much obvious SEO going on, the attempts to make catchy titles, the flood of AI that is already there and the stuff that is coming. The descriptions and even titles loaded with keywords trying to catch my eye just repulse me.

Really sad.

>>8880477
Some of the better science fiction I've read came from local books stores, or the library. Getting physical reading material has thus far paid off for some good reads- I could recommend you some if you want.

Teng here, got a viper pic done
ThisIsAReal, idk if you're still lurking here but finally got around to reading latest VNFF chapter. my thoughts/feedback:

Overall escalating the situation and adding this tension good at this point in the story I think.
Showing the tension between races even among the criminal element is a good touch.

I think during the stake out you pingpong'd the tone too much. I think I've seen this pitfall a lot in romance stuff where writers may feel a need to always inject the romantic undertones even when its not necessary. Its a tense situation and the characters realize they are in possible mortal peril, These bits feel out of place:
>It was strange seeing her plan something out like this. I'd never seen much of this strategic side of her, but I liked it.
>tay going from panicking to wanting to make out
>The admission about file snooping
>"Crawl? What is this? Boot camp?!"
This badly diffuses the tension. Saving all this for the catharsis after surviving it is better

Going off that: the scene after where they're emotionally raw and exposing their feelings is good! I do think painting the scene a little more when they are together talking things out would be good. You've got a little but I think a bit more would go a long way in having it feel more alive. Emotions are heightened, all sorts of little details stick out in those moments; color of the room or the light, the feel or smell of things. idk what you would want to go with there, but something.

I feel you, however, I am just glad it's the pre-343 design, and that the mammaries aren't 2x-4x larger than her head. C-cups/D-cups are where I draw the line, but like you I do prefer As-Bs or flatter on 'lites.

It's one of those things where yeah its kinda dumb for man brain to distract itself from a major problem in the heat of things over an unrelated feeling but at the same time if you save it all for later it could fuck up the pacing. The tension becomes resolved in too little word count while the decompression becomes awkward or even self indulgent. I think it's a damned if you do damned if you don't kind of thing

Man I can't grasp that game long enough to actually see anything alien in it (beyond what happens if you get too sleepy). It takes so long traveling from dish to dish and manually writing codes and doing the whole scan process that I don't have time for anything else, not that I know what I can do beside sell garbage and plunge to my death trying to do things faster.

>>8881465
>It takes so long traveling from dish to dish
ATV makes quick work of it imo, esp if you stick to the roads and don't try to cross-country through trees. Don't forget to sv.target things so your compass points to them.
>manually writing codes and doing the whole scan process
There /are/ upgrades that make it faster, and you can even get a robobuddy to help out and do like 90% of the work, aside from writing the note.
>not that I know what I can do beside sell garbage
The email commissions should give you a decent payout?
>plunge to my death trying to do things faster.
Understandable. I think there are some magic boots at one of the generators that help with that, but don't quote me on it.

Ain't that the truth. Embrace the jank, become molded by it.

Old lore female yautja

>>8882304
Where?

>>8882342
Chris Claremont and a couple other writers have tried to make it lore that female preds look identical to males, they're just bigger and stronger. So no tits, no wider hips.

>>8882373
So basically a man with vagina.

>>8882392
Basically.

>>8882373
Cunt boys, then. Nasty.
Women need tits, and even a female predator would have some form of mammary given that they're seemingly mammalian or near enough. Hell, they're aliens, they could work like a platypus.

>>8882401
Predator Hunting Grounds is technically the most canon depiction of female Preds to date, and the females have correct female proportions. So until the movies show otherwise, then this is it.

>>8882404
God bless illfonic.

Reminder it'll be some no-fun normies working for corps/govs that'll have initial contact with the alien waifus for some time.

>>8882708
I bet on "getting extinct before first contact". Which is more preferable than what you said.

>>8882708
for you

>>8882708
Well, maybe one of those super secret gov/corp science nerds will be paired up with a bug-alien scientist for normal boring psychology research work, but then accidentally start really liking each other and have lots of abdomen-quivering inter-species sex!

We won't directly gain from it, but it would certainly give alien boning a flying start!

>>8882528
If you're trying to use the word "reptile" to describe an alien, while being at all rational and scientific, you're already failing to understand what a reptile is.

Aliens can be "reptilian" or "reptile-like", but they cannot actually be reptiles. Reptiles are a class of vertibrates that evolved on Earth, and "reptile" is a description of evolutionary lineage, not quantitative of physiological descriptors. It's a reptile because it's descended from reptiles, not because of the features of its body.
The traits we associate with reptiles are a product of their common ancestors, and that's it, something that diverges from other reptiles, even on Earth, no matter how weird it is, is still a reptile.

People make this same stupid mistake with Dragons all the time.

And thus an alien with 'reptile-like' qualities that are the product of a completely different tree of life on another planet can have whatever other "un-lizardlike" characteristics that the writers want, and be just as plausible as anything else, like having opposable thumbs, an erect posture, split mandibles, or anything else that the fiction decides they should have.
Both because what a reptile is is more flexible than you think, and because aliens do not have to conform to our Earth-based evolutionary preconceptions.

>>8882708
She's been trying to get some hot humie action for a while.

>elephant seal/shark but human-shaped
ehhhhhhhhh
>>8885398
what do you mean

>>8885377
Its okay but the Snekguy universe is getting a little crowded. It aint like Mass Effect where you got a whole galaxy to work with. All his stories take place within like 100Ly of each other and there are like 7 sapient species now, and at least three of which have cracked FTL travel. Its getting a little silly. He needs to expand the scale dramatically.

He could stand to do some more non humanoids too if he's going to be adding more species.

>>8885377
Why is he making more species when he already has a new one still cooking and unused? And at least that one is passible as an alien.
Why is he even adding more new shit when he should be progressing to an actual goalpost with the bug war?
Pinwheel is such a squandered setting.

>>8885377

Bullshit.

>>8885431
There's plenty of stuff that started out with one intention and then the creator rolled with an unexpected outcome and made it better.

>>8885425
That's literally what he's doing.
These new species are for a new hostile faction he's introducing. There are supposed to be five or six members.

>>8885431
>people keep forgetting it was made as a porn setting first and foremost
Nobody forgets, people just expect that if you're going to write more than 30+ entries into a setting, expounding hundreds of thousands of words on shit that has nothing to do with smut, you should probably make that time worthwhile.

Do you guys think there like a shitty 90s porn parody of predator

>>8885425
The new species are much farther away apparently. They'll be reached with new broker ftl engines.
>He could stand to do some more non humanoids too

If there is, it’s probably sitting in some dude’s hidden VHS collection somewhere.

>>8886368
>Super Earth gov seems pretty accepting
They're really not. Super Earth is giga-xenophobic. That's the whole point of the games, they're constantly making enemies because Super Earth are warmongering dipshits. I remember one of them propaganda news broadcasts which casually stated that Super Earth found a planet with primitive aliens on it and immediately exterminated them all. Not "liberated", it straight up just said exterminated.

>>8885431
The entire appeal with his stories is that it aint just for porn. Dude has crafted entire worlds and cultures to flesh out his universe. Im 90% certain he learned the fundamentals of network engineering to write the broker story. He clearly has a passion far beyond getting rocks off

>>8886145
Guess anything is possible with Broker bullshit. So what is he doing then? Dark forest theory come to life? Now that humanity and this crowded coalition has expanded, some real shit has appeared?

>>8886549
This sounds extremely dangerously seditious. All of Super Earth belligerents are a world ending threat and I trust the process of sending them back to hell, Managed Democracy is extremely friendly! Not our fault the Squ'ith had had planet destroying technology.

>>8886226
It's been awhile since I played that series, but I doubt that Humanity had made an empire with the Quarians.

>>8886368
Like >>8886549 said, your waifu is either going to be exterminated or used as oil.

>>8886397
That got a chuckle out of me. Thank you, Anon. I think having an leet wife would be difficult. Not so much as her per say. The faction itself or more likely its sister organization, ONI. If ONI doesn't kidnap you or kill you that is, your only real issues would be other humans who are most likely xenophobic. Given of what all had happened to them, of course. That or another anon with their space raptor wife choosing you as their next raiding target. Should the Banished find you, you're either going to die or be enslaved. If you are lucky enough, both you & your wife could be 'hired' by them.

I think the best faction for heretical coupling would be the Farsight Enclave. They are objectively the only "good guy" faction out there. The primary issue is that they're so small compared to everyone else, you would always be in a constant threat of total annihilation. Granted. You do have a few advantages with them, they have the tech & their defense is superb. That's it. Out side of them, all you really have is that if you were to be a Rogue Trader- you MIGHT get yourself some xeno puss. But that is only IF you provide the Imperium of Man in what it wants & more. If you fail, you are as good as dead.
